Well, this is a case to pay attention to. The fact that Hawking radiation (which claims it's safe) hasn't been tested, while Einstein's theory of relativity (which claims it's dangerous) has stood up to thousands of tests, puts a little more emphasis on the disastrous consequences. I have to admit, I will be wary of this experiment.

But I think they can both be right, in different situations. Einstein was dealing more with physics on a large scale, but those don't work when you get onto a subatomic level. Hawking is the one to look to when you get into quantum physics.

Anyway, all I can say is, if it were really all that dangerous, they couldn't get funding for it. This is sort of like drug commercials that tell you all the horrible side effects: it's extremely unlikely that you would actually get any of them, but they have to say it, just in case.

I know it might not be as granduer as some make it out to be, but the simple fact that humans can now even remotley manipulate the space/time fabric is utterly amazing.

Well said.

I'm not too worried atm about what will happen, though the entire thing does scare a little, since its coming up in a couple of months.

Yes. Can't spend too much time sleeping, otherwise the creatures from the fifth dimension will rape and eat you, and not in that order.

Well, I have never been the kind to say, "let's not explore, for fear of the danger," so I have to place my support behind this experiment. As Babylon said, we are in a position to accomplish great things.

Like the moth and the flame, better we die quickly in a brilliant explosion than wither away to nothing in the shadows. [/poetic idealism]

I agree. I have to admit, I was a bit worried about this experiment, what with the potentially apocalyptic consequences, but those black holes should be small enough to not cause a threat. That we have advanced this far is just fantastic.

They can eat you THEN rape you?!

From the wiki article.

They is going to cause the Earth to implode. Screw the subway Archimedes, hijack a rocket and go to the Moon. That way you can meet the man on the moon, and Alice.

Oh yes, because Wiki is so trustworthy.

It's interesting. It's also funny how many people are going to be running around like headless chickens.

EDIT: My head hurts. I tried to make sense of all the technological stuff, but the most I could get was that there is next to no possibility of danger. Unless you account for Hawkings radiation, which is theroetical since no one has gottne that close to a black hole before.

Of course! That explains it! Okay, I'll bring a bus and enough caffeine ot supply us for a few eons.

That was funnier than every post from ARchimedes, Rave779, NNy, and Swampy put together. Kudos.

How is this funnier than monsters from the fifth dimensions which eat you then rape you because they have penises in their stomachs?

By the way, I'm not especially worried about anything going wrong, but I'll ready the bus, concrete, and caffeine anyway. In case something DOES go awry.

I'm more excited about what they'll do when they get bored of colliding hadrons. Two Labradors travelling at 99.9% the speed of light before colliding into each-other would be spectacular.
